| Quote: SaintsFan "What we actually do is question the persistent lack of action by either Anderson or Potter to address the problem by giving our other kickers opportunity to kick (which only amount to Eastmond and Wheeler to be fair, though Wheeler has been playing a regular spot lately so he should have had more chance to kick). I don't know whether Long is making life difficult or the coach is ignoring the problem, but it's frustrating to fans who get fed up with his kicking issues.'"
Exactly.

That's been the line but who knows?

| I don't think it's so much that he doesn't like it, but since he had his knee/ankle injury in 2005... (? wow my memory is bad), he's never been the same. Plus he didn't kick alot for the best part of 2 years with Lyon over here.

Saints fans - on field
Everyone else - off field (specifically betting and walking out down under)
For me, Long is one of the few real characters of rugby league. He's a showman and I'll miss his presence (and his hair!) in our team. He's also been a superb player whose loss Wigan must have been regretting for the last 12 years. What I love about him most is his audacity. That drop goal to finish the Wire match last season just sums him up. He has been able to pull out some amazing stuff for us as a player and he will be missed, no doubt about it.
When a player sticks around as long as he has with all his skills and foibles it is relatively easy to forgive his, er, mistakes shall we say. That is who he is and you have to take him as a total package, so to speak, because his best has been so much better than anyone else's in his position for a long time IMO.
However, while he can still pull the great stuff out of the bag, the not-so-great stuff is getting worse and more frequent, if this season is anything to go by, and of course his age is telling in terms of pace even though he still works damned hard (as does Cunningham). His best years are behind him now but I'm happy for him to have one more year. He's definitely got one more year in him.

| I think you're doing supporters ofother clubs a discredit there, for me he is one of the best scrum halfs to have played in SuperLeague, and should be remembered as such, i remember his Lance Todd awards much more than his betting misdemenour and i'd forgotten about his leaving the GB squad!

Do you have a link to Senior moaning to the press about his new contract?

I think that's a bit of a silly comment, to be honest. He's a well paid professional rugby league player and one aspect of his job is to convert any tries we happen to score. At one stage in the season he had only kicked two from eleven attempts. That's terrible. He's now pretty much back to where he has been for a couple of years: no-one knows which boots he has on and when. He can miss a relatively simple kick then kick a blinder from the touchline (as he did at Catalans). I said we fans find it frustrating, not that he should be hung, drawn and quartered for it. But this season his lack of consistency has been felt particularly strongly as our matches have generally been very close run things.

| I'll remember him more for being a great player than being a prat. The number of times I've seen him run riot and tear teams to shreds.
He's also one of the characters in the game, and will be missed for that too.
I still don't like him though. But you have to respect his ability and achievments
